<p>Through a phenomenological lens, this article proposes the notion of the teacher as choreographer of pedagogical atmospheres. While contemporary educational discourse often privileges learning over teaching—what Biesta terms ‘learnification’—this paper shifts focus to the embodied experience of teaching, arguing that the teacher’s body constitutes the ‘zero point’ of pedagogical action. Drawing on insights from Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, and contemporary theories of atmosphere by Böhme and Bollnow, the paper explores how teachers choreograph experience through their bodies. The notion of choreography—understood in its original Greek sense as a choral and emergent process—illuminates how teachers perceive and shape atmospheres through gestures, movements, and spatial configurations. Moreover, the paper proposes strategies for choreographic planning, which addresses the paradoxical nature of habitual and sedimented bodily routines in schooling, and emphasizes the perceptual and productive dimensions of atmospheres. By situating the teacher’s body at the heart of educational practice, this article opens new avenues for research on embodied teaching, atmospheric design, and the ethical-aesthetic dimensions of pedagogy in contemporary schooling.</p>
